Qesher Book Club: ‘The Architecture of Modern American Synagogues, 1950s–1960s’

Hosted By: Qesher

Hosted by Qesher Book Club, “The Architecture of Modern American Synagogues, 1950s–1960s” explores the relationship between synagogue design and the post-WWII Jewish religious and cultural identity, suburban migration, and modern architectural concepts. The book highlights key examples, including Eric Mendelsohn’s Park Synagogue in Cleveland, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Beth Sholom Synagogue in Pennsylvania, and Minoru Yamasaki’s North Shore Congregation Israel Synagogue in Illinois. This study adds to the discourse on modern American sacred architecture, reflecting broader social and cultural shifts of the time.

Host

Qesher

There are Jewish communities all around the globe with their own unique history, culture, places, and most of all, people and stories. All of them different, but sharing so much. The aim of Qesher is to connect these different Jewish traditions, not just to know of each other, but to learn about each other. We believe that there is great value in creating a deeper understanding within the Jewish world and exploring Jewish experiences and identities in all their diversity.
